Musings of a sexual camel…

You know that New Years Resolution you made…yes that’s right, the one you’ve already forgotten about.

Be it lose weight, save money, drink less. Well, I have a new one for you and best of all you don’t have to do much to achieve it. What if I told you that by using your usual Instant Messenger chat program you could raise money for good causes.

How does it work?

To quote from the website;

The i’m™ Initiative from Windows Live™ Messenger makes helping your favorite cause as easy as sending an instant message. Every time you start a conversation using i’m, we share a portion of our advertising revenue with some of the world’s most effective social cause organizations. Each of our partners will get a minimum of $100,000. As for the maximum? There is none. The sky’s the limit.

Simple, but what do I have to do?

1. If you don’t already have it, download and install Windows Live Messenger from here
2. Place the text code of your chosen cause in your Display name
3. Continue to have conversations with people as normal
4. You’re done! No further action is required.

Remember, all the time the code is in your Display name, Microsoft will continue to share advertising revenue with your chosen cause.

For a comprehensive run down of how the initiative works and how to get up and running, visit the I’M site.
